Floyd Mayweather overrated for his false undefeated?

Yes but more to his tbe bs claims which is throwing **** to the wall and hoping it sticks.
Floyds carefull selecting and 0 marketing works against him in my opinion. I would think much higher of him had he taken more risks and had a few losses.
Thats why I rate Pac as the greater fighter eventhough Floyd is more skilled.

On the other hand he is still an ATG that made the most money possible, a legend and still talked about daily.
I would rather be him than Hearns for example.

Tommy is a legend with a fanpleasing style that took risks and got ko'd a few times.
Yet he is broke and talked about less and rated lower than more carefull counterparts like say Floyd or even the original deck stacker SRL.
Despite doing as much or more in the divisions, beating Duran clearer, having a more iconic fight with Hagler and being 1-1 with srl himself.

Shows how people remember losses more damaging than they should.
Look at how Canelo is mocked for losing despite stepping up.
He could Floyd it up and take the easier carefull route and boxing fans would rate him higher and he would be richer.
So in a way Floyd was right all along.

 

That wasn't the worst version of De La Hoya though was it? That was still to come.

Floyd was a class above everyone else and bar the first Castillo fight which was far to close to be called a robbery legitimately won every other fight of his career. Usually by shut out.

 

He is overrated because of his moves outside of the boxing ring. always choose easir route to fight someone.

He was never a warrior, but he was great technical boxer.

 

Floyd Mayweather

• Cherrypicker
• PED user
• Deck stacker
• Receiver of hair/beard implants

 

Fluid isn't undefeated. He lost to Logan Paul.

 

Compared to who? Pretty sure he is well regarded.

 

The only fight he arguably should've lost was against Castillo not De La Hoya

 

Floyd isn't a fraud. He did card stack. cherry pick and used IV's and possibly other gear to get an advantage.
Having said that his resume is stacked and apart from a couple of fights was largely dominant.
So not a fraud but nowhere near TBE status him and his nuthuggers proclaim.

 

He obviously was a great fighter. He resume is strong.

Just like any over star his delusional fans gripe everyone. He was brilliant but nowhere near GOAT status like they’d have you believe because he printed it on a cap and wore it.

 

DLH was worse in the Pac fight by FAR. So was Mosley.

The Castillo fight was only a comfortable robbery in the eyes of a hater. It was razor close.

 

So he should have went to war with guys when he could just clearly outbox them? I never understood this logic.

 

Always stay safe is not the way of greatness. Just my opinion.

Always try to find right time to fight certain boxer when they are weak/in bad shape/old/coming from a lose or personal reasons - is not a good look.

 

He beat a lot of big names when they were falling off the deep end with drug and alcohol issues.

A lot gets made of his Corrales performance but no one ever mentions his personal life was in tatters due to domestic violence allegations.

It’s like a sprinter beating Usain Bolt when he’s over the hill and running 11 seconds. A fanboy would say you have beaten the great Usain Bolt, a cooler head would say you beat a guy running 11 seconds.
